York have advised supporters not to make travel arrangements yet as chairman Jason McGill is looking into subsidising travel, as he did for the quarter-final at Dagenham and Redbridge which York won 7-6 on penalties.

The other semi-final sees Wrexham, co-owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, host Conference leaders Stockport County.

Both games will be played on April 2, with the final on May 22 at Wembley.

York won the Trophy in 2012 and 2017, and were runners-up in 2009.

They have also won the fourth-tier play-offs at Wembley in 1993, and the Conference play-offs there in 2012.
